Shortly after I got the rumble fish set up in my study, Mister Husband began to eye the tank covetously. So it has come to pass that we now have a new seven-gallon hexagonal tank set up on the bar that divides the kitchen form the living room. It’s inhabited by three little corydoras. Now we are outnumbered.

I must say, these tropical catfish are quite cute. And they’re busy all the time, whurfling around their tank and zooming up and down to the top. Any food brings much joyous wiggling, and a cube of tubifex worms is occasion for hours of happiness.
